I can really relate to this poem. Some days, after the grandkids have been over and I am exhausted, I wonder how in the world I accomplished everything I did when I was a young mother. I just kept going until everything was done that had to be done, whether it was 8 p.m. or 2 a.m. I can’t do that any more. Now, when the sun goes down, I quit working. There’s a reason why children are given to the young!
